2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We are adjusting our JunQ rev/EPS from $2.5B/ $1.93 to $2.4B/$1.79, F18E from $10.0B/$7.74 to $9.5B/$7.20 and F19E from $10.5B/$8.43 to $10.1B/$8.07. Maintaining our Neutral but adjusting PT to $127.50 from $110, ~15.6x our F19E EPS (updated QCOM pending offer). We believe a combined QCOM+NXPI could drive ~$1.47 in accretion for QCOMs F19E, with combined EPS of ~$4.35 based on our estimated QCOM F19E EPS of $2.88. No guidance or call pending QCOM acquisition. While there is a window for the MOFCOM approval to July-25 with a potential $2B breakup fee, we believe NXPI’s automotive industrial segments are intrinsically very attractive even if the QCOM deal does not happen." (5/3/2018)

3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "While we have stated that the initial spread didn’t make sense, we now believe that NXPI’s value to QCOM is at least $130 (our new stand- alone PT) for three fundamental reasons: 1) the overall financial picture has improved significantly with at least of $8 of earnings in CY19; 2) NXPI has lagged the rest of the semiconductor market both in terms of stock price and valuation expansion – we believe NXPI’s valuation multiple along with its stock price should catch up with its peers; 3) QCOM needs NXPI. In our view NXPI, with crucial automotive assets, represents a clear interest in the auto market. Our new $130 PT represents 16.2x P/E on our CY19 EPS estimate vs. a comps avg. of 17.3x. As a result, we expect QCOM will need to pay at least $130 per share to close the acquisition." (2/1/2018)
